    To match the armour shirt, fila will give additional discount of 18.6%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For the armour shirt, 5% of $65 is

    (5/100) * 65 = $3.25

    The actual selling price of armour shirt is $65 - $3.25 = $61.75

    If Fila first give 8% discount, and then 3%, then we will have

    (8/100) * 85 = $6.80

    The price will be $85 - $6.80 = $78.2

    Then 3% of $78.20 is

    (3/100) * 78.20 = $2.35

    New price is $78.20 - $2.35 = $75.85

    The addition % discount will be ($75.85 - $61.75) / $75.85 * 100%

    = (14.1/75.85) * 100

    ≈ 18.6%
